About the Auditioning:
• We will be running auditions as we would run a salsa class but with a close watch.
• A combo from a routine will be demonstrated and we may partner you with someone and swap partners. Note that this will be recorded on video for our reference.
• Some of the current Salsa Sabrosa team will also be assisting and participating so you will learn fast.
• Please be aware that you may learn 'performance moves' such as neck-drops, slides and lifts are for performing and are not meant to be used for social dancing.
Selection Process:
Participants may be selected will be notified by phone or email... We also may hold more of these throughout the year if you don't make it in this time, keep up the practice because you can still get in. Determination to do well will be noticed.

Requirements
... if you make it through the Audition
• To take at least one salsa class a week at minimum with Salsa Latina, this is to keep your learning up to date and it is less work for us when you know the fundamentals inside and out.
• 1 hour sessions a week, at this point in time. 2pm-3pm on Sundays for training, plus some practice time on the same day, and when you advance and know the routine you can also attend team rehearsals.
• Social dancing. Consider this an important part of your training. We are after good leaders and followers, this is the best way to get experience.
• Listen to salsa music in your own time. It helps with timing & you will gain more appreciation for this fantastic music. It will show in your dancing too!
• Practice in you own time, it makes all the difference - even if its a minute a day!
• Even if you are selected we wont get you to perform until you are ready.
• To have fun..;-)
